Does anyone have any tips on that NOD mission where you start off with just engineers and glider guys and the commando? You have to capture the GDI construction yards while they're dealing with the skrin.
Trouble is by the time I manage to get rid of the power to down the defences and get my engineers in the GDI turn around and blow my newly aquired construction yard up!

Trying to recall what mission that is, ah yes, the one with your base in the lower right that can only produce units? Just slip the commando into their lower left base, don’t bother taking out the power, go for the production facilities and then the defences around the CY, use engi’s to take their refinery and the CY, get a War factory built and sprawl out an escort party and bring the mcv back to your base, and work from there. I then took the upermost left GDI base, and did the same. Leaving me to deal with the Scrin and not having to worry about them killing each other.
 
Nice to see that EA have made this just as hard to play online as generals was!

Why cant they just use a common port?
 
Sorry if soneone has already asked this as I cant be bothered to read all 12+ pages. I have problem with the sound its very crackly when the voice overs start i have a sblive fatality. Anyone know of any solutions?

Its easier to just split them into 2 groups. Glide your Shadow teams into the south of their base from yours and use them to destroy the 2 anti infantry towers around the Construction Yard, then leave them in a hold ground stance in the south of the base.

While doing this your commando and engineers should be on the move towards the GDI base. To get them into the base you should move them between the anti-vehicle turrets (dont destroy anything! because the scrin will overrun the base) located just north of the base and move them as far west as you can. If you come accross the small support base with the Tiberium refinery you've gone too far north and need to take them south along the west side of the base and use the commando to kill any infantry along the way (That way you avoid all the defenses and APC's).

If you get them near the Construction Yard you will need to wait a minute for the next attack force to leave the base to join in the battle in the middle otherwise you will be attacked by the APCs and predators. When you see them leave quickly take the Construction yard, Tiberium refinery and a power plant and the battle base (pack it up and move it south so it doesnt get shot and it will be a tempory defense :)) get building a war factory, slap it down and start pumping out predators to destroy the rest of the defenses within the base and start taking it over with engineers and thats basically your first base taken :) (it would be a good idea to leave GDI's defenses and powerplants alone until your own base is up and running and able to defend yourself, then its just a matter of making sure neither GDI or the scrin overrun each others bases)

Best tip available to this mission is to save every 2 minutes since its so damn gutting when you do it all perfectly just to have it go **** up in under a minute :D
 
Forgot to mention if any of the 4 construction yards get destroyed (even if you've already captured it) it will mean game over. I found out the hard way and had to start over :(
 
Yeah the 2 construction yards!
I managed to take the south base and was battling to buy tanks and keep things together, then I noticed the skrin had overrun the north base and I had no chance to get up there and 'save' the base!

Eventually got them both, after about 20 save games and probably double the amount of reloads. Probably a very easy mission if you got the timing right.

All you need for that mission is the Engineers, neither GDI or Scrin will attack you until you attack them. All you need to do is move an Engineer next to each of the primary objective buildings and then use Planning Mode to tell them all to capture the building they're stood next to at once. Doing it this way won't get you either of the two bonus objectives but you will finish the mission in about five minutes without losing any units.

I thought it was a an incredibly hard mission until I tried it that way.
 
Nice tip finally managed it! :)

Now stuck on the next mission! It's one thing to be owned in your base, but having to defend someone elses is hard work! The GDI throw in about 10 mammoths!

Does the 3rd Campain have cut Scenes ?

Yes, and it explains and confirms a lot of theories from the other games. :) No video though, it's all CG so far and I cant imagine that changing. Mind you, it's stunning CG

ok got it done with the planning mode advise :D think id still be on that mission in 2 weeks time creating mass homicide to my engineers and shadowteams hehe .......... if i hadnt read in here
 
just got this game, just trying to figure out how to play over the network.

Strange thing is that one machine can see the other, but it's only one way. Can't join or host games ... any ideas ?

Assume it something to do with the firewall ?
